Native Languages of the Americas: Warao Legends, Myths, and Stories

This is our collection of links to Warao folktales and traditional stories that can be read online.
We have indexed our Native American legends section
by tribe to make them easier to locate; however, variants on the same
story are often told by American Indians from different tribes, especially if those tribes are kinfolk or neighbors to
each other. In particular, though these legends come from the Waraos, the traditional stories of
neighboring tribes like the Carib and
Arawak tribes are very similar.

Enjoy the stories! If you would like to recommend a Warao legend for this page or think one of the ones on here
should be removed, please let us know.
